The 6th edition of the project consists in awarding a prize ‘Investor without borders’ - a title given to the distinctive foreign investors in Poland and Polish investors abroad.

Main goal of the project is to promote exemplary relations between the investor, market and administration. Such relations should be based on partnership, trust and responsibility and they also should be transparent. The companies that have been granted the title will be announced at the celebratory gala during the XIV European Economic Congress in Katowice in April 2022.
